Expressive nose of cherry, and plum with hints of anise and forest floor. On the palate soft red fruit, good acidity with mineral and earthiness. Tannin and oak are well integrated and a very good finish. This is a 95 drinking very well now and basically a very nice wine.

good showing for this wine ($75), tight biting cherry with some real spice taking top spot, grippy but not overwhelming tannins (almost dusty which is good), loads of acid still, also loads of secondary flavors -- spice, cinnamon, licorice, lemon zest etc, very interesting and more thought provoking than hedonistic, made for food for sure

Mature, velvety blackberry fruit, quite plush for a 95, spicy.

Concentrated, light black cherries, meaty, spicy, long finish. Love this wine.

Black cherries and cocoa. Full-bodied, with a sweet, chewy glycerin, long finish.
